Drew Brockington, creator of the CatStronauts series, makes his picture book debut with a send-up of Godzilla movies that also tackles a relatable toddler topic: the crankiness that comes from an empty stomach!
When a young lizard monster gets a hankering for his favorite hot dog spot, he takes the train all the way to the city--only to find that the place is closed for vacation. But when this little monster gets too hungry, he starts to get angry. And when he gets hangry, this poor city is at risk of a full-scale monster attack. As his rage swells, so does he, until he's the size of a skyscraper, and it falls to the citizens to find him some food--and fast!
In a hilarious story about a hunger-induced tantrum, Drew Brockington uses speech bubbles and sight gags to bring a smile to the face of any little monster.

About the Author:
Drew Brockington is the creator of the CatStronauts series of graphic novels. Hangry is his first picture book. He lives with his family in Minneapolis.
From School Library Journal:
K-Gr 2—A monster with a penchant for hot dogs terrorizes a city in this picture book from the creator of the "Catstronauts" graphic novel series. A child-sized green monster rides the train into an unnamed city, excitedly reviewing a guide to the best hot dog joints in town. But what's a hungry creature to do when the top spot is closed for vacation? This dinosaur-like foodie becomes "HANGRY", growing to the size of Godzilla and quickly taking out his frustration on the streetscape. Townsfolk offer broccoli and cabbage by the truckload, but it's the arrival of a hot dog cart that finally provides hope of satisfying the monster's appetite. Though a pigeon takes off with the first offering, the hot dog vendor announces he "has enough for everyone," and soon the monster and the citizens are happily munching as he slowly returns to his normal size. Brockington's graphic novel background is evident in the paneled layout and colorful mixed media cartoon illustrations. The monster makes for an appealing protagonist, full of personality and a relatable range of emotions. Overall, it's a thin but fun story, and young audiences will commiserate with the monster's single-minded pursuit of a favorite food. VERDICT Not a first-purchase, but a solid addition to larger picture book collections.—Chelsea Couillard-Smith, Hennepin County Library, MN
